To accurately describe a comparison of the current distribution of colonies to the distribution of colonies historically, the statement that is most likely correct is:

Most of the current colonies are islands; historically, a larger number of colonies were on the mainland.

Historically, many colonies were established on the mainland of continents through European colonization, while currently, most remaining colonies (such as territories and dependencies) are often found on various islands.
